Tell us about your Christmas (Holiday) Traditions

Its that time again.........Do you celebrate Christmas, Hannahah (Channekah? Please feel free to correct the spelling) Winter Solstice, Festivus? Something else? Perhaps you don't celebrate, or do anything special during "the season"

Tell this world wide forum about it.

What do you do? Any special traditions in your family? What do you eat? Do you bake for days before?

I'll start. Here, in the USA, when Christmas is celebrated, there are two schools of thought. Some families open gifts on Christmas Eve.........some (like mine) think that's sacrilege, and that gifts must be opened on Christmas morning. After all, Santa can't come till everyone is asleep. Yes, this is a "Santa" house.

This can make for some very early Christmas mornings if you have young children in the house.

We BBQ steaks and bake potatoes, rolled in a little olive oil, and rubbed with salt.....makes the skins yummy! Must haves are chex mix and peppermint rice krispie squares, and mixed nuts. We can do this yearly because it never gets really cold in the frickin' desert!!!

Christmas Eve is celebrated with take out Mexican food, Served buffet style. gifts are exchanged with family members that like to stay home on Christmas day with their own family.

Christmas music is the only thing allowed to be played, and we have lots of CD's collected over the years.

So......what do you do? We're listening...........
